CAPT. MIKES WONDERFUL DOG.
He Affords Some Very Strong Evi
dence of His Ability to Read.

He Affords Some Very Strong Evil
dence of His Ability to Read.
Capt. Mike Lyman, a well-known boat
man of Clifton, Staten Island, is the owner
of wise and learned Newfoundland dog,
named Carlo. The skipper spared no pains
with his education, and he delights to
puzzle and astonish green fishermen with
the tricks of the dog The other evening he
took Carlo into bateau, pulled out to an
anchored skiff, put the dog on board, seated
him in the stern, tied a straw hat on his
head, and presented him with long bamboo
fishing rod, which he took in his
mouth. Then the Captain rowed away
from him in the bateau, and there the big
dog sat in the slliff, looking as melancholy
as a lone fisherman at the Romer Beacon
with an ebb tide, no wind, a setting sun, and
weak fish far away.
'Vot you dakes for dot tog?' said an adj
mirer after Mike had called the dog ashore.
HE is not for sale, sir. intend to keep
him as family relic.n

he can read German just as well as he can
read English. Come over here and I'll prove
it."
So they adjourned, accompanied by some
friends, to a larger beer saloon, where Ly-
nam made one of the party put number of
papers in row ON table. "Nown said he,
''there is the Herald, the World, the Stats
Zeitung and the Sum-" and he kept his hand
on the Sun, taking good care not to touch
the other papers. Now" said he, that

The dog went over to the table, ran his
nose along the papers, and brought the sun
to his master to the great amusement of the
party.

Certainly; but you must give him n

CAPTAIN went over to the table and arranged
the papers TO the satisfaction of his friend.
Then he called to the dog. "Carlo, " said he,

The dog performed the feat without the
least difficulty.

There is another system of secret writing
upon which we have not touched at all. 1t
consists of the hiding of significant words in
a sentence of good English, and know of a
case In this city where this style of writing
was used between young lady and gen.
tlemen who had been forbidden by the
ladys father to see her, and used to such
purpose that the pair were married. Here
is one of the young lady's notes. What do
you think of it!'
The note was written in lady's delicate
hand on a small sheet of gilt-edged paper.
The sheet was eInbellished at the top with
an embossed initial W, and the writing
was:
GEORGE: wish you would forget me. can

but when pointed out were plainly seen to
be l, 2, IL, IA, Is, 16, 10, 20, 81.
Nov read that note again, emitting
every word but the first, second, twelfth,
fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, nineteenth,

find that it reads:

A Witchcraft Case.
Erom AZ "a 90 Round.


One of the most extraordinary witchcraft
cases ever presented, and in. an respects
typical one, was tried in 1873 az the Morpeth
Sessions, though whether it ever went up to
the Assizts is uncertain. IL would seem, If
one can believe the evidence, that quito
party Of witches. with wizard or two,
were won't TO hold their ''sabGatn in the
neighborhood Of Morpeth at Riding Mill aud
elsewhere, whereat the proceedings We're OF

beldames to repair TO the meeting places,
mounted sometimes upon wooden dishes, or
even egg-shells, but oitencr upon victims Of
the human kind whom they had saddled and
bridled Arrived ut the unhalowod place
they were mot by their protector, !. e., the
devil, with whom they held high feasting,

witches To swing upon a rope which hung
there from the beams a very general char

II Is upon evidence that, at one OF these M

good things, came down at tho beldamcs'

THE FIFTH CONTINENT.
What is Going on in Australia-A
Glimpse of Melbourne.
From the San Francisco E.rrn,iner.

From the San Francisco Examiner
A. S. Manders, of Manders' Press Agency,
Australia, an institution corresponding to
the Associated Press in America, is in this
city. Mr.. Manders is native of Melbourne.
and some months ago started out on an ex-
tended tour of the world.
-Four San Francisco cable roads, - said he
which were introduced in Melbourne some
time since, are a great success. The cable
system is well liked there, and nearly all the
conductors, gripmen, and others of the force
who went from this city to start the enter
prise are yet with it, This is the only cable
road we have, but other cities will soon adopt
the system
'There is now in Australia $4,000 miles of
railway. In Victoria alone, which is the
smallest of the provinces, we have over
10000 miles. We have one continuous line
of 1000 miles from Adelaide to Brisbane
through the colonies Some of the roads
from Melbourne to Sydney make the whole
distance of 600 miles in seventeen
hours. Australia is as large as the Ameri-
can Union.
"Melbourrle, as the leading city of the
colonies, with 100000 population, is rapidly
advancing, while Sydney, which is next in
size, with 100000 people, is equally pros
porous, s-but perhaps better known to you,
since it is the terminus of the Oceanic
Steamship Line from San Francisco. The
other colonies now have close on to 200, 600
apiece.
"Our embarrassing in the great grass re-
gioas is very extensive, yet it differs some
what from the way it is carried on in the
United States. We fence.our ranges, or sta
tons as they are called, and with American
patented barbed wire. Australians are
always ON the lookout for new things in
America and they speedily adopt them.
The proprietor of station is called a squat
ter He may have $4,000 or 40, 600 acres in
his station, but whatever he has it is all
fenced. Some of these ranches are 1000
miles away from market, and take many
months to drive their cattle through. The
law prohibits cattle being driven faster than
four miles day, or sheep more than three.
The recent rains have wonderfully i'm
proved the crops. Wool has gone up 80 per
cent.
Living is very cheap now in'Australia..
Workingmen can get good board and rooms
at the hotels for So so per week Bank
clerks and such persons can get such as they
want for So 80 to 81 while tho very best Is
rot over 81 so, hardly think the
chances of making a fortune quick are as
good, though, as they are in America

that.
what surprises me most in America is
the immensely of your hotels. and in fact of
all your buildings You do everything on
grand SCALE. But was surprised, too, to
find that at the Great Union Depot hotel at
Kansas City at which / stopped there

A LOVERS HARD LINES.
Beaten and Chopped With Meat
Saw by the Parents of His Girl.

Saw by the Parents of His Girl.
From the Philadelphia Press.
William Stanton, tall young man, built
ON fine lines, who lives down at Twentieth
and Federal streets, had his head repaired
yesterday. He at first thought he had run
his head against buzz-saw, but it was only
a meat-saw IN the hands of the irate father
OF his girl. The vigilant father had used
the saw on the boycotted lover while the
mother of the girl slugged Stanton in q
vigorous manner
The watchful parents are Mr. and Mrs.
James Mccormick They live at the north
west corner of Twentieth and Latona
streets, where Mrs Mccormick, matron
or stalwart build, carries on the business of
a butcher. There are three young Miss Nc
Cormlcks, dark-haired, buxom, good looking
girls. There have been many gallant lads
of the Twenty-sixth ward willing to be con-
sidered friends of the two elder Mccormick
lasses, but Billy Stanton and his brother
seemed to be the fayorite admirers of the
girls.
Mrs. Mccormick believes that it is her
undeniable right to superintend the court
ship OF her girls, and she and Mr.. McCor-
mick made combine and put boycott
on the Stantons in favor of two downtown
youths who came nearer what Mrs McCor-
w
liam Stanton has big bump of goaheadi-
tlveness and he continued to call to see his
Miss Mccormick. The mother told him to
never again pull the china door-bell of the
Mccormick mansion.
Last Saturday night the dauntless lover
appeared at the house
His girl was talking of summer picnics
with the "other fellows" and the heart
broken but courageous Stanton turned to
go, when Mrs. Mccormick caught him. He
was making quiet and dignified retreat,
when Mrs. Mccormick, it is alleged, struck
him and threw him into the roadway He
went away, but the fates later in the night
drove him back. The other and more for
tunate lover had not gone home, and Stan
ton stood concealed behind an awning post
when Mrs. Mccormick saw her enemy.
Reinforced by Mr. Mccormick, she
defied the crushed but uncon-
quered Stanton to come over to
the butcher shop. He went The
sequel is now part of the police records OF

his foot on the pavement, when Mrs Nc
Cormick began to beat him with her
clenched hands. At the same time Mr.. Nc

used as weapon, joined in the melee, cut
ting the unfortunate lover and making the
blood run
While Mr.. Stanton was writing under
the combined efforts of Mrs, Mccormick
and the old man and the meat-saw, Stanton
heard the sharp report He thought his
rival was shooting at him. An officer came
running down Twentieth street while Stan

tion of his head had been hacked off, hur-
RED away IN an opposite direction. The
